Unlike its predecessor Mi5 and Mi5 Pro the new Xiaomi Mi5s comes in a brushed metal unibody with clearly recognizable antenna stripes on the back. The curved 5.15 inch FullHD LCD display is protected by Gorilla Glass 4. As with mobile phones like the Huawei Mate S, the Mi5s now also has a Force 3D touch panel that recognizes the force of the finger pressure and provides additional functions.

Another absolute novelty is the 3D Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. The Xiaomi Mi5s is the first smartphone in the world, which is equipped with Qualcomm's new ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The fingerprint scanner is located under the display glass and can scan the fingerprint even through materials such as aluminum and glass.

Further specifications include 4GB of RAM in combination with 128GB UFS 2.0 internal memory. The new Mi5s scored a different camera sensor from Sony. The device is equipped with the SONY IMX378 sensor, which has a resolution of 12 megapixels. The excellent camera is also equipped with features like PDAF, a dual LED flash, 80° wide-angle lens and an f/2.0 aperture. On the front we have a camera which has a 4 Megapixel sensor (1,55μm) with the same f-number (f/2.0). The special here, however, that it is ultra pixels. Comparison photos between cameras of the iPhone 6s Plus and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge already give a very good impression about the excellent camera of the Mi 5s.

Let's continue with even more highlights and high-end specs. The Mi5s has the new 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 SoC with four cores and a clock speed of up to 2.15GHz built-in. As graphics unit the Qualcomm Adreno 530 is installed into the smartphone. In terms of connectivity the phone supports NFC, dual band WiFi (b / g / n / ac) with 2.4GHz and 5GHz, GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, an infrared sensor and Bluetooth 4.2.
